Ramla Bay

North of Nadur, Ramla Bay has a splendid stretch of ochre sands, its green-blue waters protected by a rugged headland. Given the ease of access and the fact that it is the only sandy beach of any size on Gozo, it is not surpising that the bay draws Gozitans and foreigners in large numbers during the summer months. Beach facilities include cafes, watersports, and sunshades. Even so, you must be very careful if you intend to do more than sunbathe: a notice on the beach warns swimmers of dangerous currents and reefs.

In the nearby Ramla Valley, the terraced fields, divided by bamboo fences, create a patchwork effect and lend an impressive backdrop to the bay.
